If by “Ungovernable” they mean that we can not be dragged, deceived, or beaten into accepting socialist, Marxist, dictatorship, they are DAMN WELL RIGHT. We are not a People who are governed by a dictator or dictator class. WE THE PEOPLE RULE THIS PLACE, and if they don’t like it they can get the hell out.

Don't they realize that the founding fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution precisely to make it hard to control the Senate? The founders wanted to restrain momentary Pelosian majorities in the House of Representatives with regional power in the upper house. They set the controls to make the U.S. almost ungovernable -- by design.

He attributes a Senate RULE to the U.S. Constitution.

Quite incorrect.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the filibuster a Senate procedural rule, and not something implemented by the Founders?
